To cancel an American Airlines flight, go to the “Manage Trips” section on the American Airlines website or app. Enter your name and confirmation number, find your reservation, and select the “Cancel” option. Follow the on-screen steps to finish cancelling. If you cancel within 24 hours of booking, you’ll usually get a full refund. After that, refunds depend on your fare type — some tickets give travel credits instead of money back. If you don’t see the cancel button or have questions, calling American Airlines or speaking with an agent at the airport can help walk you through it.
